Last October Chrissy Teigen, model, TV personality and wife of John Legend, opened up about the miscarriage she endured due to a partial placental abruption. The loss of her son, Jack, twenty weeks into her pregnancy, was more than she could bear and she has since been an open book on how she’s been coping ‒ and not coping ‒ with the emotional trauma. She also recently gave up drinking alcohol, remarking, “I was done with making an a** of myself in front of people (I’m still embarrassed), tired of day drinking and feeling like s**t by 6, not being able to sleep.”
This past week Teigen took to Twitter to announce that to help heal from the experience she was turning to an activity that we horsepeople all know can be the best form of meditation and therapy: riding.
Teigen wrote, “My therapist says I need something that I do for just me, as I have absolutely nothing currently lol. Today begins my journey into the horse world. I hope this dude likes me. He’s so handsome and appears lazy, I love” along with a photo of a lovely dark bay horse lying in a stall.
